Lettre autographe signée adressée à Adriana Salem

Autograph letter signed by Violette Leduc addressed to Adriana, probably Adriana Salem, 21 lines in blue ink.
Folding inherent to mailing and small marginal lacks due to removal of the sheet.
Thank-you letter sent from her Versailles home: "J'ai bien reçu la boîte de gâteaux, merci de tout mon coeur, comme c'est gentil." ("I received the box of cakes, thank you with all my heart, how kind.")
Violette Leduc being mentally ill, she informs her correspondent of her medical treatment program: "Simone de Beauvoir m'emmenera à la Vallée aux Loups, dans la clinique du Dr Le Savoureux mais Diatkine me reverra avant ici, c'est long enfin si j'en sors ! " ("Simone de Beauvoir will take me to Vallée aux Loups, to Dr Le Savoureux's clinic but Diatkine will see me again before that here, it's long finally if I get out of it!") and asks for her news.
Adriana Salem was the daughter of Frederic Gentili di Giuseppe, representative of the Italian Minister of Finance in Paris and great collector of Italian Renaissance paintings.
